Development of the Local
-t Elevens Retarded by the
Unseasonable Mercury.
By BRYAN MORSE.
All ot the football coaches in Wash
ington are aaklntr for mora seasonable
weather In which to give their charge
more work. The past three weeks, dur
ing which the teams have been endeav
oring to get Into condition, have been
productive of little real football weath
er and without exception the men In
charge of the varlo'us squads are com
plaining. Georgetown has played two games,
and In neither contest has the team
been able to show anything like Its
usual vigor and dash. The' warm sun
has made It Impossible to do much more
-n through the games In a per
functory manner, with the coaches dis
trusted at the physical condition of the
team, which slow development Is laid
directly ut the door of the weather.
In the rtrst week's practice lain
knocked out any chance of hara work,
the field was slippery and the players
were unable to do themselves Justice.
At M. A. C, Uallaudet. Catholic Uni
versity and In the high school circles
the same wall goes up. The late after
noons have been fairly cool, but the
teams for the most part have been un
able to get the men Into the proper con
dition and spirit to take up the game
with any degree of seriousness.
Coaches are hoping the snappy weath
er will soon come along wherein they
can get their men Into the proper con
dition where they will be willing- to
drive along at top speed. One of the
Georgetown coaches expressed himself
ai being unwilling to keep his men at
top speed during the hot pftrlod, as It
Wa feared that several of the players
were, already on the verge of going
stale. These men have worked hard oil
summer at rowing, track work, or other
sports, and have been In condition for
one time.
It Is not unlikely that nilly .Cloth,
who Is a full-fledged lawyer at Alex
andria and one of the mosi 'famous
football players and captains of the
University of Virginia, will be added to
the coaching staff at Charlottesville
Oloth'a forte Is line coaching, and he
was. In his day, one of the beat centers
InHhe South. Cloth was at Virginia for
a week and expects to go down later In
the season before the Georgetown game.
With Bice "Warren out with appendici
tis, and Bam Ilonaker leaving, to take
up a position, the Charlottesville coach
ing staff has ben cut down materially,
and It Is expected that' Cloth will re
ceive a call for a position on the coach
ing staff. Virginia allows a paid coach
for two weeks In addition to the head
coach, and It Is expected that some one
will take the position later In the sea
son:. At present Oloth Is greatly needed
and may be prevailed upon to leave his
business and Virginia politics to go to
Charlottesvelle. ,
. Costello, Van Drocklln. and Derby
failed to report to practice at George
town Field yesterday owing to minor
injuries receivea in Boiuruay r game.
None of the players Is seriously hurt,
and all are expected td be on hand to
day. Dave White was out yesterday,
and showed little 111 effects of his re
cent Injury. The big fellow Is expect
ing a shoulder brace which has been
specially made for him. and will enter
scrimmage when It arrives.
Secret' practice was Inaugurated for
the first tlnio On the Hilltop this sea
son yesterduy, and will obtain through
out the year. Coach Cargan had the
men In charge teaching them new for
notions whlth will b used In the Wash,
tngton and Ie game on Saturday.
Georgetown Is expecting a bard game
from the licxlngton team, as Coach Jim
Rellly, the former Tale star,, has a
bunch of good men.
Values Cobb With
- Major League Team
Harry Wolverton, leader, of the trail
ing Highlanders, onca remarked: "Ty
Cobb Is worth J100.000 to any team In
either major league. Put (100,000 on one
side ond Ty Cobb on the other and I'd
take Ty Cobb. He's worth more than

Olanta vs. Red Sox.
The Giants and the Red Sox receive
their Initial test today. The first game
Is generally conceded to be tho hardest
of them all After that Is over, the
Players have sited each other up and
come back to earth. What's my dope
on the e'ertesT The Red Sox look good
to me, the series to run to' six games,
and Joe Wood to be the shining light.
Will Fogel goT
The calling of a meeting of the Na
tional League magnates following the
world's series seems to foretell trouble
for Horace Fogql. tho windy president
of tho Phillies. He has stirred up a
mare's nest by his charges against the
umpires and now Tom Lynch la golnir
through with It to the end. which may
be the end of Fogel In major league
baseball.
Cashlon as actor.
Carl Cashlon made good jesterday at
Hartford, Conn., as an actor. He Im
personated Walter Johnson for five In
nings, giving but four hits, walking
now, and fanning seven In true John
sonian style. His speed was John
soncsque, and the Nutmeggers conclud
ed that he was worth the price of ad
mission. They recognised him from tho
start as the great "Kansas Cyclone."
Women entering tourney.
It Is gratifying In the extreme to see
so many women entering the District
tourney In the singles and mixed dou
bles this year. Last season In one of
tho tournaments the women's singles
failed to materialise because of the fact
that there were too few vntrlea, Miss
Eva Baker Is the title holder of the
District and looks to be the winner
again this year, bb the other players
are not as experienced.

Hoodoo at U. Va.
Virginia Is beginning to get a taste
of tho hard luck which has been our.
Bultjp Georgetown these first weeks of
practice, ooverai gooa men are out with
Injuries at present, which necessitates
shifts In the line-up. In addition to this
the coaching staff has been depleted by
sickness or business obligations, al
though Jtlse Warren returns to his
duties today,
Tigers shift.
"Tol" Pendleton. Princeton's football
captain, Is being played at the quarter
position again, and the change seems
to be permanent. Pendleton Is one of
the best quarterbacks In tho country at
present, and should be the natural and
logical choice for the big honor this
fall If he plays up to the standard of
other years.
Service elevens quiet.
Little Is heard of the Army and Navy
teams these days, although both teams
are hard at work developing new
elevens. The service elevens get started
later than the other teams In the coun
try, and at present little Is heard of
their progress. West Point has Its
usual hard schedule this fall, whllo
Navy has fewer hard games than are
generally found In former years.

DEFEATS TO SQUARE
WITH YALE ELEVEN
Percy Haughton Hopes His
Charges Will Score Heav
ily Against Eli.
Percy Haughton, Harvard leader, now
finishing out the fifth year of his con
tract at Cambridge, Is anxious to see
his eleven roll up a big score on Tale
this year. He has some old defeats to
squaro with tho Ells.
The scarcity of Crimson touchdowns
against the Blue Is one of the remark
able things of football.
During the four years that Haughton
has coached Harvard, the Crimson has
not succeded In scoring one touchdown
against Talc. Two of the games were
tied, 04; one game, 1908, Harvard won
on Kennard's field goal, and the other
went to Talc.
doing back a few years, the record
of Tale skill In defending the goal line
from Its most noted foe Is still more
notable. In twelve years Harvard has
only thrice been able to score on, Tale,
and In every year from 1899, except two,
the men from aCmbridge nave left the
field without having tallied a point,
Haughton, entering pn his last year,
wants to atone for this stinginess of
touchdowns by hurling an avalanche of
them on the enemy, and he believes
that the ew rules will aid him In his
plans, far. In the Judgment of most ex
perts, they are golnng to mean freer
scoring.

Large Fields and Well Match
ed Horses Promise to
Furnish Good Sport.
Another first class card will be run
off at Laurel this afternoon. The fields
are large In every event and closely
matched, making the path of the specu
lator rather rocky.
A big bunch of two-year-olds Is en
tered In the first raco and the start will
have much to do with the decision here.
The ever-consistent Rlngllng with any
fair kind of racing luck should win.
Battery and Stockton figure the con

dangerous If he runs one of his good
races.
For the Jump Colonel Parr a Miss
Ilvnri looks far the best on her Cana

The maiden event presents the usual
perplexities. The much touted Triton Is
entered again and If the stable Is "spiel

Dr. Duenner looks best In the fourth
